Oral Sedation Dentistry

At Stone Oak
Aesthetic Dentistry we provide the highest level of care and commitment to
ensure that patients can enjoy an environment that is comfortable and inviting.

However, we
understand that some of our patients suffer from dental anxiety. Sedation dentistry offers an excellent way to
provide a safe, anxiety-free dental experience to those who are fearful of
dental work. The doctor may also recommend sedation dentistry if the
procedure(s) require an extended period of time, even if dental anxiety is not
present.

An oral
sedative medication is given to the patient approximately 1 hour before
treatment. The patient becomes relaxed, but is still conscious and responsive.
Commonly, the patient will have minimal or no memory of the dental procedure.

The safety of
our patients is of the upmost importance to us. Throughout the procedure the
Dentist and assistant will closely monitor the patient’s level of sedation with
a pulse oximeter. We also require our patients to have a driver to and from any
appointment when oral sedation is utilized.

If you would like to
schedule a new patient comprehensive dental exam, or have questions about Oral
Sedation dentistry, please contact us for more information. We look forward to hearing from you!
